Omen Ginkakuji Honten: Family-Style Dipping Udon Near the Silver Pavilion
Omen's Ginkakuji Honten is the original location of a Kyoto udon restaurant known for its namesake dish -- thick udon noodles served separately from a warm sesame-based dipping broth topped with a rotating plate of seasonal vegetables that diners add themselves. The shared, build-your-own-bowl format is well suited to families and groups eating together, since the vegetable toppings and broth are typically served to share at the table. The restaurant sits right next to the municipal Ginkakuji parking lot, beside the bus stop for Ginkakuji Temple (the Silver Pavilion), making it a convenient stop before or after visiting the temple. It is reached by city bus rather than train, as Ginkakuji itself is not directly served by a rail station.
